Question 1 of 5
The nurse is caring for a patient who is taking a calcium-channel blocker. What adverse effects would the nurse caution this patient about?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Headache and dizziness. Calcium-channel blockers can cause vasodilation leading to decreased blood pressure, which can manifest as headache and dizziness. Itching and rash (
A) are not common adverse effects of calcium-channel blockers. Hypertension and tachycardia (
B) are actually treated by calcium-channel blockers. Nausea and diarrhea (
C) are not typical side effects of calcium-channel blockers. E, F, and G are not applicable. In summary, the correct answer is D because headache and dizziness are common adverse effects of calcium-channel blockers, while the other choices are not commonly associated with this medication.
